    Default What is wrong with me?

    Something isn't right at all. I woke up yesterday feeling so drained and sleepy and I had a good night of rest the night before. Well, I ended up falling back asleep at 11AM and woke up at 4:30PM and STILL felt completely drained and drowsy. I could have went back to sleep but I didn't.

    Well, today I woke up after going back to sleep at like 2 something last night. I woke up at 8:30, same thing. Drowsy and drained, no energy or nothing. I took another really long nap and woke up, same thing again and I still feel that way now.

    I don't get it, I have never had sleeping issues like this. I usually have problems with not being able to sleep, but now it is too much. My doctor started me on the Cymbalta and I am still on a low dose until I can increase. I don't think the Cymbalta would have anything to do with it considering I have been on it for like 2 weeks and this has only been going on for a couple of days. I just started my period, but I don't see how that could affect anything and nothing like this has ever happened to me before.

    I go see my doctor on the 26th, hopefully this will go away and it could just be all my stress and still being really depressed and unhappy in my situation. If it don't go away I am going to bring it up to her.

    Has anyone else had anything like this happen before? What should I do? I am too drained to even sign onto my webcam or anything.

    Any chance you may have mono?

    I know for many people, the first signs of mono are exhaustion before anything else...I know my college roommate found out something was wrong when she repeatedly would sleep for 12 hours or more, and still be exhausted...a few weeks later, the other symptoms popped up.

    I know whenever I come down with the flu, it always starts with feeling drained/in deep need of a nap.

    Beyond that, do you have any vitamin deficiencies? I'm anemic, and I know if I dont ingest enough iron, I get really tired and weak feeling.

    Definitely see a doctor soon though.

    No, I don't think it would be Mono. I was in contact with a girl with the flu the other day, actually the day right before this happened. I didn't get close to her or anything but we were in the same room for a few seconds. That would make sense if I am getting the flu. I don't want the flu

    It could be the cymbalta. Cymbalta affects your seretonin, which does have a huge affect on your sleeping/waking schedules. And SSRI's take effect in 2-6 weeks, not just six weeks, so it could be, though I think it might not have such a sudden onset.

    It also could be that the cymbalta is affecting the way hormones are happening in your body - it's not abnormal to be that tired the first day of your period.

    ^^ I agree with the above completely. I've been on celexa (an ssri) for over a month, but it's only been within the last couple of weeks that my sleep schedule has been effected. I have trouble falling asleep, then when I do, I wake up at 5:30 am EVERY day. I eventually go back to sleep, but with all the tossing and turning, I'm definitely not rested when I finally "wake up".

    are you pregnant? I'm being dead serious... or it could be the medications....
    I hated celexa it made me suicidal...

    I feel a little better today but not much. There is no way I am pregnant unless I am having my period while being pregnant AND have an IUD. That would be very slim. When I was pregnant I wasn't even this sleepy.

    My guess is the flu. It's running rampant all over the country right now.
